Re: Monday Ticker Change 06.13.2016
What size is baby? A banana?
Upcoming appointments? I have my anatomy scan on the 27th.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Baby is kicking a lot over the past two days. I have a lot of gas and I'm always sore. I've also had very bad acid reflux over the past few days.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I still can't stand peppers, chicken, and now salmon. My husband really only knows how to cook chicken and salmon, so it's becoming an issue, haha.
GTKY: (stealing from Sunday, because it was such a good one!) What tradition are you most looking forward to starting with your new LO? I can't wait to celebrate holidays with her! We're going to be including some of the major Indian holidays along with typical American/Western holidays. I'm especially looking forward to Christmas.
What size is baby? Size of a burrito
Upcoming appointments? Nothing until June 25
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant - I really want to do Cord Blood Bank but I can't get past the price for it. I wish we had the extra money, trying to figure something out. Rave - me and DH had a nice get-a-way this weekend. Scored some great deals at Motherhood!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Chicken is still a no go for me. Don't really have any crazy cravings.
GTKY: (stealing from Sunday, because it was such a good one!) What tradition are you most looking forward to starting with your new LO? Since I work for Disney, I'm so excited to start bringing our son with us and making magical memories with him. Also my DH is big into camping and wants to do family camping trips once a year to different locations. And of course holidays, so excited for Christmas even more now.
TTC only since Dec 2015. I had some weight to get off. Been working hard in the gym for over a year.

IT'S A BOY!!!
What size is baby? Coconut.
Upcoming appointments? None til the end of the month...
Rants/Raves/Questions? Feeling pretty good. I almost can't believe I'm saying that after so many weeks of feeling like crap. But, have some decent energy, have an appetite, not too many aches and pains. Just keeping an eye on any swelling... Oh, and it's getting a little harder to get up out of bed - feel a bit like a turtle on its back.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I want to eat all the pizza. For every meal, every day.
GTKY: (stealing from Sunday, because it was such a good one!) What tradition are you most looking forward to starting with your new LO? Obviously the holidays, especially Christmas. Incorporating my traditions as a child with my husband's...maybe coming up with one or two of our own. Also, I remember having mother/daughter shopping days and then stopping for milkshakes and french fries, just us. I would love to start something like this with my child - boy or girl! A special day with just Mommy.
What size is baby? Bunch of grapes, grapefruit, chinchilla
Upcoming appointments? Wednesday check up.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave: babymoon was great in Charlesfon! Sad to go back to work tomorrow. Rant: I strained my foot somehow with all the walking. I guess I will be on the exercise bike this week.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? New symptom was a little ankle swelling 2 days ago. Haven't really had an issue with it since. Backaches when I stand too long. Otherwise feeling great and seem to be able to eat most anything finally!
GTKY: (stealing from Sunday, because it was such a good one!) What tradition are you most looking forward to starting with your new LO? I loved this GTKY!! Looking forward to Christmases with our little boy!! Favorite holiday only going to be made better. Also looking forward to introducing him to the beach and the boat which are two things we love most! He will be daddy's little fishing buddy.

What size is baby? Coconut or a Guinea Pig
Upcoming appointments? no fun appts... found out that I don't get anymore US visits for the rest of the pregnancy unless something's wrong. Boo
Rants/Raves/Questions? omg... my feet basically just hurt all the time. As if I've been standing all day, but I've only been up on my feet for a quick shower. It blows, but it could be worse I guess.
Rave: we're getting new carpet installed today! I cannot wait to finally have super new clean carpet. AHH!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I'm so excited to say that most of my symptoms are tapering off. I tried to stop taking the medicine I take for nausea, but that was a no go. I felt like crap.... but with it, things are much better and I feel like I've actually got some energy now! Still no steak for me, but, meh... I can do without it until after delivery.
GTKY: (stealing from Sunday, because it was such a good one!) What tradition are you most looking forward to starting with your new LO? I love this one but honestly haven't thought of it yet. I'm excited about Christmas because, come on, it's Christmas. But I'm not sure what other traditions I'd like to create or continue. I'll need to think on it more!
What size is baby? Coconut
Upcoming appointments? Nope not till June 30th
Rants/Raves/Questions? Got my new stroller on weekend. Wee person is quite the giant kicker
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Not really I have been eating a lot of oranges but that just more me liking the crazy movements after I'm done eating them.
GTKY: (stealing from Sunday, because it was such a good one!) What tradition are you most looking forward to starting with your new LO? Nope we have our current traditions we do with our other kids summer camping, swimming, baking cookies on holidays, I was hoping for a boy so my husband would have a buddy to fish with but if it's another Girl I guess I'll have another diva to get my nails done with.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm starting to feel big, not huge, but def big. Esp at the end of the day. But I haven't gained any weight? I'm plus sized so I guess stuff is just shifting around....
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Food is weird.... Eating really small portions and still feeling ridiculously full. Strong dislike for all traditional foods that were my pre-pregnancy diet. Oops.

What size is baby?
Coconut, spaghetti squash, or corn on the cob
Upcoming appointments?
Next week monthly check up/GD test, which I really hope I pass. My nutrition and activity level has been for shit since, oh, late February.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I was starting to freak out because I'm not really feeling a lot of kicks, and the fluttering is gone, but what I am feeling are kind of gas-like lumpy movements (I don't know how else to describe them) now and then, so I'm going to go with that being him. Articles for this week say they sleep a lot so I'll assume that's what's up.
Haha, and there he just got me as I finished typing that sentence. Thanks dude!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Had some bad heartburn last week, and my the right side of my pelvis is kind of sore, but nothing too terrible overall.
GTKY: What tradition are you most looking forward to starting with your new LO?
Good question. Not sure. There are lots of things I want to do, (listen to music, movie night, cookie baking, etc.) but not I'm not sure if any of it counts as a tradition. We'll see how it shakes out.
What size is baby? Spaghetti Squash
Upcoming appointments? Not for a couple more weeks. I'm not as anxious for my appointments now that I feel him moving every day. That makes me feel pretty confident that he's doing ok in there.
Rants/Raves/Questions? We got our crib set up this weekend. I love walking by his room and seeing it.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I'm feeling pretty good right now. I'm getting a little restless at night and my tailbone hurts if I sit too long.
GTKY: What tradition are you most looking forward to starting with your new LO? I came from a split family so all of my holidays consisted of being shuffled from one place to another. I'm looking forward to having my kids at home with me for all the special stuff.

Upcoming appointments? OB this Wednesday
Rants/Raves/Questions? Baby has been kicking a lot which I'm loving, but I wish hubby could feel it....soon I know, but I'm impatient!! lol
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Nothing too bad, still puke first thing in the morning but again I think it's congestion (due to pregnancy), but the pain in the pelvic region seems to be easing up.
GTKY: (stealing from Sunday, because it was such a good one!) What tradition are you most looking forward to starting with your new LO? There is so many I can't wait to do! Apple picking in October, Christmas mornings, Easter Egg Hunts, all those things that I loved as a kid.

@sportiegrl1213 You work at Disney??? How cool! What do you do there if you don't mind me asking? =D
@allythekid I actually work for ESPN in CT, but we are owned and paid by Disney. We get free passes and 50 to 60% off our rooms. It's the only reason I stick around. LOL. I get great benefits too, especially our maternity leave, I can't complain... We are huge Disney fans and my parents live less than an hour away from Disney so we are there at least 3-4 times a year. Can't wait to bring our little man with us now!
TTC only since Dec 2015. I had some weight to get off. Been working hard in the gym for over a year.
